The Irish Cruising ClubEDITORIAL

DURING THE PAST six years we had to suspend publication of our Annual owing

to printing difficulties, but so as to have a continuous record of the Club’s activitieswe produced an aamual bulletin recording the results of some off-shore races and short

coastal cruises by our members. Now that the war is over we are reviving our Armual,and although we cannot publish arty logs of long cruises this year, we are pleased to recordthat some members did overcome the many difficulties and visited other shores. We havebeen able to include some of these logs and also to give a report ontwo ocean races in whichmembers of our Club were actively concerned.

Four I.C.C. yachts went to Plymouth to take part in the oceart race from there to DunLaoghaire. Paddy O’Keeffe brought Sheila II. over from Bantry, and we print the log ofhis cruise, which included visits to many ports on the South Coast of England, in one ofwhich he came across the late Erskine Childers’ yacht, Asgard, of Howth gun-rmming fame.

Aideen and Mararna sailed from Dublin, both having a pretty tough passage across, whileMatchwood Maid, leaving Cork a few days before them, had an easier passage.

Evora went North to the Clyde and some of her crew assisted in brir, ging back to DunLaoghaire one of the new Orte Design Class of 24’ WL.

Sibyl, now owned by the Vice-Commodore, sailed from Cork to Dun Laoghaire, intendingto take part in the Race from Holyhead, but this race was cancelled owing to the very badweather and the failure of the yachts to arrive in time for the start. Mavis cruised on theSouth Coast after racing to Cork, while the other Dublin yachts in that race made quickpassages home.

At Whitsuntide we held our annual race for the Wybrants-Kearney Cup to the Isle ofMan, again won by Mr. Keamey in Mavis. The Donegan Memorial Cup was awarded tothe first yacht in both classes in the ocean race from Dublin to Cork on corrected time, andwas also won by Mavis. It was intended to run a race to Cork in conjunction with theR.O.R.C. event for yachts of under 25 foot waterline and to award the Wright Salver asfirst prize, but local regattas occurring at the time made it impossible so this trophy hasnot been awarded this year. The Faulkner Cup for the best log of a cruise by members ofthe Club was not awarded, the Navigation Cup has also been held over until next year.

Despite one of the worst seasons on record for severity of wind, we are glad to be ableto record that none of our members suffered serious mishap, although a fair number ofsails vanished between Plymouth and Dun Laoghaire and Dun Laoghaire to Cork.

During the war we held dinners both in Cork and Dublin as travelling was so difficult,but now that this situation has eased somewhat we intend to hold our asmual dinners alter-nately in Cork and Dublin. Making a start on the ISt of December last the anrmal dinnerwas held in the National Yacht Club, Dun Laoghaire, and was a splendid re-union. Overninety members and guests attended including a large contingent from Cork. Mr. TeddyGore-Lloyd, owner of Benbow and now Vice-Commodore of the I~oyal Ocean tkacingClub, came from London, and our first honorary member, Mr, Conor O Brien, was also

present. Up to the time of going to press, we have heard of no actions being institutedagainst John Cottrell for his topical song at this Dinner.

The Royal Ocean Racing Club has honoured us by offering the privilege of honorarymembership to the members of our Club visiting London.

The Sailing Directions for the East Coast of Ireland, compiled by the Commodore, werepublished last July and brought very favourable comments from visiting yachtsmen.

The Directions for the South and South-West Coasts of Ireland compiled by the Vice-Commodore, will be available shortly. The book has in fact been printed for some time,but the printers have held over the issue hoping for a more durable type of cover.

It was intended to have this Annual ready for the General Meeting in February, but althoughrepeated applications were made to members to send in logs before the end of Novemberonly two logs were received in time and the others were very slow in coming in.

The fitting~ut season is upon us. We wish all our members good weather for paintingand varnishing, and we hope that a good season will tempt them to make long cruises, andwe again ask them please to send their logs in earlier next year. Might we suggest to theCommittee that the Faulkner Cup be awarded to the owner of the first log received !

PROGRAMME FOIL 1947AT THE ANNUAL General Meeting held at the National Yacht Club on Friday, Feb. 7th,the following dates and events were arranged :-

Sunday, May ~sth .. Dual Laoghaire to HolyhcadMonday, July 7th .. Dun Laoghaire to Hunter’s Quay.

In connection with the foregoing :--The Royal Dee and ILoyal Anglesey Yacht Clubshave arranged a race from Beaumaris to Dun Laoghaire starting on the evening of Friday,May 23rd, and the Clyde Cruising Club have decided on a race from the Clyde to DunLaoghaire in the first week of July.

The Meeting also decided to make arrangements for a few week-end cruises in companyduring the Season.

IILISH MUTUAL YACHT INSURANCE LTD.

Tire YEta~ ENDED 3 ISt Dec., 1946, has been a year of steady progress for this Company althoughthe premiums have been maintained at a very low rate--very much below standard marketrate. And in spite of this, the Company’s 1Leserve Fund is steadily increasing.

This is very satisfactory, since the likelihood of calls being made on members diminisheswith the growth of the Reserve.

The number of yachts insured has again increased, although it continues to be the policyof the Directors not to solicit new members until such time as the supply position shall haveimproved, and new moorings and gear generally be more easily obtainable.

In previous years the Company had a very satisfactory arrangement with Irish ShippingLtd., by which members whose yachts were valued at over the Company’s maximum figureof£5oo could insure, the excess at a specially reduced rate. A similar arrangement has nowbeen made with the Insurance Corporation of Ireland, to whom Irish Shipping had transferredits Marine Insurance Dept. and members can now also be covered for extended Third PartyInsurance up to £2o,ooo at a very cheap rate.

The Company acting as Broker is also prepared to place Insurance on very advantageousterms for those yachtsmen whom, under its rules, it cannot accept for membership.

OCEAN RACE--PLYMOUTH TO DUN LAOGHAIP~

A. W. MOONEY

Owmc TO THE continued severe weather in the Channel which had rather spoiled theK.O.A.C. race from Southsea to Plymouth, via Cherbourg, and the promise of a furthergale, it was decided to postpone the start of the race to Dun Laoghaire for 24 hours, thatis until Tuesday, x3th Aug., at 6.3o p.m. Even then some entries failed to matcrialisc andon the Sunday Zeearend was blown ashore in the Cattewatcr and very severely damagedso that the actual number of entries was reduced to 15. Of ttmsc, four were I.C.C. yachtsnamely Marama, Marckwood Maid, Sheila II and Aideen, all of whom wcrc in the small class.The other starters were Benbow, Lara, Erivale, Maid of Malham, Evenlode, Lucrezia, Yeoman,Ilex and Green Lion in the Big Class and Tre-Sang and Clodagh in the small class.

The start was to windward and the breeze, westerly moderate, with the prospect of aturn windward as far as the Wolf and then a glorious reach to the finish. Unfortunatelythings did not turn out that way in the end, as the breeze failed the following evening whenhalf the competitors had rounded theWolf and then went into the North and stayed there,thus giving the smaller yachts at any rate, a beat of almost 3oo miles.

The start was excellent, not more than IOO yards separating the first and last yacht. Aideencrossed the line to windward with B(nbow, Evenlode, Clodagh, Lucrezia, Maid of Malhamand Tre-Sang close aboard and the others not far off.

Benbow, electing to leave tbc Breakwater to starboard, was first out into the open andTre-Sang, wriggling her way to windward of everything else, was second. From this on

as it grew dark, it was difficult to follow the fortunes of the different yachts, but Aideenstood out on the starboard tack until near the Eddystone, where she went about at Io p.m.Lucrezia and Yeoman were then just astern and nothing else was in sight. Matchwood Maidand Sheila II, when last seen, were making short boards along the shore.

Nothing much of the other yachts could be seen until the following morning when atIO a.m. we sighted three Bcrmudian cutters close in under the land near the Lizard andcrossing us, the first apparently being Maid of Malham and the others, Clodagh and MatchwoodMaid.

At 5.3o p.m. on Wednesday, when Aidee, was within 5 miles of theWolf, with the tideturning against her, the wind disappeared and, with Clodagh and Matchwood Maid, the threeyachts tacked back and forth until 8 p.m. when Clodagt~ slipped round and disappearedrapidly, followed at 11.45 p.m. by Aideen, leaving Matchwood Maid and Ilex, Which latterhad appeared before dark, still trying to get round. Lucrezia and Yeoman were at this timewell astern and there was no sign of Sheila II.

It was a lovely night with a bright moon and a light N.N.W. breeze. At 7.4o a.m. onThursday, Ilex had closed on us and crossed us later. We were then about pointing forLundy I. and Matchwood Maid could be just seen close in under Pcndeen but nothing aheadof us was in sight. Marama and the leaders having saved their tide and rounded the Wolfbefore the breeze failed must, wc felt, be at least 6 hours ahead of us.

We later heard that Benbow was first round thcWolf, followed by Lara, Tre-Sang, Erivaleand Evenlode, later followed in I don’t know what order by Green Lion, Maid of Malhamand Marama, and then a gap of about 6 hours before the other half of the floct got round.The leaders apparently met their calm patch nearer the Smalls and Erivale actually kedgedin 45 fathoms.

3

Thursday was a lovely day but the wind kept swinging about more or less ahead all thetime until midnight, when it commenced to freshen up out of the North and at 3 a.m. onFriday Aideen was compelled to change jibs and take off her topsail. By 9 a.m. it was veryfresh and a reef was put in the main.

At 1.3o p.m. on Friday, with the Tuskar only z miles offAideen crossed Clodaqh, then undertrysail and small jib, and there was nothing else in sight. All that day it blew hard and at6 p.m. when offthe Lucifer Bank, we spotted Marchwood Maid coming up astern and gainingon us, also Lucrezia well back in the distance.

On Saturday morning at 2.3o we just crossed Marchwood Maid and at 6 a.m. off WicklowHead she returned the compliment with about a mile to spare. No other yachts showedup and the two of us had a race of our own in a very stiff breeze and a lumpy sea as far asthe Muglins, with very little separating us, but the Maid always just ahead.

The wind dropped to nothing in Dublin Bay and the Maid just carried the last of the breezeinto the harbour while Aideen, who had almost to anchor, crawled in 50 mira. after her.Lucrezia, Clodagh and Yeoman came in several hours later.

Thus ended a very interesting race and even if the ketches and small cutters were handicappedby having to turn windward all the way, still half a dozen of us had a little race of our own.

OCEAN KACE--DUN LAOGHAI1LE TO COKK

WE rlAD TI-I~ honour of co-operating with the tLoyal Ocean tLadng Club in this ILace,fixed originally for Friday, August ISth, 1946, but owing to the delay in the arrival of theyachts in the race from Plymouth to Dun Laoghaire the start was postponed until Monday,I9th August, when six boats in the big class and seven in the small class came to the line.

In the big class Benbow, the t938 built maroon coloured Bermudian Sloop, owned byMr. " Teddy " Gore-Lloyd, with a rating of 49.12 was scratch. Lara, a dark blue BermudianYawl owned by Mr. K. G. Poland, and like Benbow, designed by Mr. Robert Clarke in

4

1938, was next with a rating of 40.62. The third boat in this class was Erivale, a whiteBermudian Sloop, owned by Dr. E. G. GreviUe, with a rating of 35-93- Ilex, at one timeowned in Dublin, and now owned by the Royal Engineer Yacht Club, a white BermudianCutter, was the only boat in A Division. Her rating was 34.81 and she was the oldest boatin the big class. The next boat was Groen Leeuw, (which we understood meant Green Lion),a Dutch entry owned by M. A. Schadt. She was a varnished Bermudian Cutter with a ratingof 32-66 and had been built secretly under an old railway bridge during the German occupationof Holland. The sixth boat, Maid of Malham, owned by Mrs. B. A. Livingston, was aBermudian Cutter, designed by Laurent Giles, and had a rating of 32.42. She was now paintedwhite, but when she came to Dun Laoghaire in 1938 she was a dark blue. All these boatsexcept Itex were in the Open Division.

In the small class, Sibyl, a black gaff cutter, designed by Fife in 19o2 and owned by theVice Commodore, was scratch boat with a rating of 45.24. Tre-Sang, that marveUous little3o sq. metre owned by Lieut. Colonel H. G. Hasler, tL.M., who had done so well in a11her ocean races this year, was a varnished Bermudian Sloop with a rating of 34.Ol, and wasthe only boat in this class in the Open Division. Mavis, a black gaff yawl, with a rating of28.16, was designed and built by her owner, Mr. J. B. Kearney, in 1925. Aideen was a creamcoloured gaff ketch with a rating of 27.78, and owned by the Commodore ; MatchwoodMaid, a white Bermudian Cutter with a rating of 26.8o, owned by Mr. Michael A. Sullivan,Commodore of the Royal Munster Yacht Club ; Sonia, a white gaff yawl with a rating of23.24, owned by Messrs. P. M. and D. J. Purcell ; and Viking O., a white Bermudian Ketchwith a rating of 23.93, owned by Lieut. Colonel .1. V. Hollwey, was the only boat in the"B " Division, all the others except Tre-Sang, being in the "A " Division.

Other boats entered for the race were Cynthia, Larry, Astrophel in the small class and in thebig class Norwind, Colleen, Zeearend, Ragna ’ R" Amokura and Gr!~n, none of which hadarrived in Dublin. Evenlode, Clodagh, Yeoman and Marama had taken part in the race fromPlymouth but did not start in the Cork race for various reasons.

The original course was from the starting line off the East Pier to the Kish Lt. Vessel,leaving it to port, thence to 1Lockabill, leaving it to starboard, thence to the finishing line,leaving the Tuskar/Lock, Barrells Buoy (or Lt. V. if on station), Coningbeg Lt. V. and theDaunt Rock Lt. V. to starboard, finishing on a line between the Outer Harbour Rock Buoyand the Lt. Ho. at P, oche’s Point, but, owing to the delays, it was decided to omit theP, ockabill from the course, and to leave the Kish Lt. V. to starboard, and thence to finishingline, leaving marks mentioned to starboard.

It was also decided to start the two classes together on a line between the East and WestPiers, and a large crowd had assembled at the ends of the piers when the first gun was firedat 4.25 p.m. A special weather forecast indicated that there would be N.W. winds,moderate to fresh, but no likelihood of strong or gale force winds for 24 hours.

Sibyl, Matchwood Maid and Tre-Sang were first over the line shortly after gunfire at 4.30 p.m.,followed by Aideen, Viking 0., Mavis, Lara, Son~’a and Erivale, while Maid of Malham, Ilex,Benbow and Green Lion were rather late at the start.

The tide was ebbing as the yachts started on the first leg of the course to the Kish Lt. V.,a distaalce of almost 8 miles, and the wind about N.W., moderate to fresh, giving them afine reach to the first mark.

On the reach out to the Kish, Sibyl was the first to take the lead, but was passed by Tre-Sang.However, Sibyl got ahead of her again, but was shortly afterwards passed by Lara. Benbow,after a late start, came up very fast, with her big genoa drawing bully, sailed through thelee of Sibyl aald Lara and took the lead approaching the Lightship. The order around the

5 B

Kish Lt. Vessel and the approximate times of some of the yachts were as follows :--Benbow(5.23.o), Lara (5.25.3o), Sibyl (5.28.3o), Erivale (5.3o.o), Tre-Sang (5.3I.o), Ilex (5.31.3o),Aideen (5.35.o), Maid of Malham, Mavis (5.35-45), Green Lion, Marchwood Maid, Sonia (5.43.o),Viking 0., (5.46.o).

The direct course to the Horseshoe Buoy, below Wicklow Head, took the yachts acrossthe Kish Bank on the northern rather shoal end, which Benbow avoided by sweeping inshore,still maintaining her lead of the fleet. Lara went straight for the Horseshoe Buoy, whileSibyl, holding third position, took a course midway between Lara arid Benbow.

Spinnakers were set by all boats, and with the favourable tide and a nice fresh breeze therewere early indications of its being a quick race.

Passing Wicklow Head, Benbow had a three mile lead on Lara with Sibyl a further quarterof a mile astern. Erivale was then about a half a mile astern of Sibyl and Ilex and Aideenwere close together three miles further astern. Sibyrs time at the Head was 7-53 p.m.

Aideen records in her log that Wicklow Head was abeam at 8.o5 and that Mavis, Tre-Sang,Maid of Malham, Green Lion, Marchwood Maid, Sonia and Viking O. were all astern. MarchwoodMaid arid Viking O. record the times of 8.25 and 8.4o respectively at the Head.

There was a splendid sail to the Tuskar, a distance of 45 miles from the Horseshoe Buoy,and while the four leading boats seemed to have maintained their respective positions therewere some changes in the positions of the other boats, and Maid ofMalham, Ilex and GreenLion pulled ahead a bit.

At about 9 p.m. the wind came more off the land and spinnakers were taken in. Thebreeze was holding nicely, and if anything inclined to freshen and the miles being run offpretty fast on the logs of those yachts who had decided to use them.

The Tuskar, back to its old power after partial dimming during the Emergency, wasa great joy to all helmsmen that night, as it loomed up in grand style very early and saveda tremendous lot of compass watching.

The tide turned against the fleet at about Io p.m., but there was a grand breeze over thestarboard quarter and with a smooth sea, the yachts were carrying all their canvas and makinggood speeds. The fair wind enabled a direct course to be sailed from the Horseshoe Buoyto the Tuskar, passing outside Glassgorman, Moneyweights, Blackwater and Lucifer Banksand inside the Arldow Bank. Mavis, however, kept well in-shore while some of the others,including Viking, appear to have gone a long way out.

It was a grand night with a fairly clear sky, and the moon came up good and bright. Thebreeze was freshening so that topsails came down off Sibyl, Aideen and Mavis in the middlewatch. The order and approximate times of some of the yachts at the Tuskar were asfollows :--Benbow 1.4o a.m. ; Lara 2.23 a.m. ; Sibyl 2.28 a.m. ; Erivale 2.3o a.m. ; Ilex,Green Lion 3.I5 a.m. ; Maid ofMalham, Tre-Sang 3.39 a.m. ; Aideen 3.4o a.m. ; MarchwoodMaid 4.x5 a.m. ; Mavis 3-57 a.m. ; Sonia, Viking 0. 5.I5 a.m. The speeds for the 78 milesso far covered ranged from Benbow’s 8.5I knots to Viking’s 6.I2.

Benbow still held her lead at the Coningbeg Lt. V., but Lara was doing better now, andstarting to overhaul the leader a bit, while Erivale passed Sibyl just before the Lt. Ship wasreached. The times of the first three boats passing the Lt. Ship are not available, but Sibylrecords the time of 5.I5 a.m., and Erivale was then about a quarter of a mile ahead of her.

Maid of Malham, llex and Green Lion were next in order, the latter passing the mark at6 a.m. Then came Tre-Sang arid Aideen almost together at 6.zo, Mavis at 6.45, MarchwoodMaid at 6-55, arid viking O. at 7-45 and Sonia bringing up the rear a few minutes later.

The wind was now easing a bit and had gone so far westerly as to give a close pinch forthe Daunt’s tkock Lt. V., distant 62o miles.

6

When daylight came Benbow found that Lara was in sight astern and gradually creepingup on her. Erivale was going away from Sibyl, while Maid of Malham, sailing very freely,came up a bit on Sibyl but a long way to leeward, and Ilex and Green Lion also overhauledthe leader in the small class, but were a good way to leeward of her.

Aideen had Tre-Sang abeam, but to leeward, with Mavis about two miles and MarchwoodMaid about six miles behind, and Sonia and Viking were having a race close together, Soniabeing to leeward of Viking.

The wind was fight in the morning, but still north-westerly, and while some boats weresailing a bit free hoping for a change of wind, others held aH they could to windward andwere just about making the course for the Daunt Rock Lt. V. Benbow records a keen strugglewith Lara at this time, and she says she was abeam about three miles to leeward at 9 a.m.,but then dropped astern again and later the wind left them. They then got the wind outof the S.W., but it reached Benbow first, and she was offon the port tack for the Daunt R.ockwhile Lara was still becalmed. As Benbow rounded the Daunt Rock Lt. V. at I.Z9 p.m.and squared away for the five mile run into the finishing fine, Lara was just getting the windand was following a few miles astern.

When Benbow was just within a few hundred yards of the finishing line she ran into aflat patch and with the ebb tide making out of the harbour was gradually going astern.Benbow then tried her spinnaker, but it hung limp, while Lara, still holding the breeze, wascoming up fast with a nice W.S.W. wind and her big Genoa drawing. She kept awayto the westward so as to avoid Benbow’s flat patch but when she came for the line she gotcaught in it also arid she began to drift. After some time a firm wind came and Benbowcrossed the line at 2,.4o.z7 p.m., and Lara followed at 2.46.2I p.m.

Erivale, as already mentioned, had gone away from Sibyl and was fairly close up to theDaunt Light-ship when the shift of wind came. Her time of rounding the Lightship is notavailable, but she reached the finishing fine with a good fresh breeze at 4.I9.5 p.m.

Sibyl, Maid of Malham, Ilex and Green Lion were off Ballycotton when the shift of windcame to them at about 2 o’clock. Maid of Malham was then slightly ahead of Sibyl but a longway to leeward, and an interesting beat to Daunt’s Rock ensued.

All the boats stood inshore to start with and Sibyl started to go away from the others,while Maid of Malham also increased her lead on Ilex and Green Lion. The wind freshenedup a good bit between 4 arid 6 o’clock and Sibyl lowered her topsail near Power Head.The order of these boats rounding the Daunt’s Rock Lt. Ship and their approximate timeswas as follows :--Sibyl 6.oo p.m. ; Maid of Malham 6.I7 p.m. ; Ilex 6.35 p.m. ; GreenLion 7 p.m. There were no changes in their positions on the run to the finishing line, wherefile following times were recorded :--Sibyl 6.37.I9 p.m. ; Maid of Malham 6.54.36 p.m. ;Ilex 7.I3.I5 p.m. ; Green Lion 7.38.16 p.m.

Tre-Sang was ahead of Mavis, Aideen and Matchwood Maid when the shift of wind came,and the beat to Daunt’s /Lock suited her and she came along fairly fast, reaching the Lightshipat about 7.Io p.m. arid crossing the finishing line at 7.5o.39, but the wind went fighter afterthis and Mavis did not reach the Lightship until 8.45 p.m. and Aideen got there at Io.45.Marchwood Maid made it very fight coming up for the Lightship, and didn’t round it untilz.5o o’clock the following morning.

On the reach into the finishing fine Mavis held the breeze fairly well, and crossed at IO.Z6.2z,but Aideen lost the wind and didn’t reach the line until I.I3.3o a.m., while Marchwood Maidafter lying outside the harbour for a considerable time eventually accepted a tow intoCrosshaven at 7 o’clock in the morning.

Sonia and Viking were a long way astern when the shift of wind came, and Sonia beat

on to the Lightship, passed it at II.3O a.m. and reached the finishing line at 1.3z p.m.,while VikYng retired and went into Helvic at about 6 o’clock on the previous evening.

WHITSUNTIDE RACE, JUNE 7th, I946--DUN LAOGHAIRE TO DOUGLAS, I.O.M.

Seven yachts turned out for the Annual Whitsuntide Race for the Wybrants-KearneyCup :--Mavis, Aideen, Sonia, Viking O., Bonita, Huzure and Evora.

Tile start was at so p.m. between the piers and the wind S.E., moderate : a nice eveningwith the glass steady at 3o inches.

Mavis and Sonia kept close in to the Baily, while the others passed it much further outto sea. It was very pleasant sailing all through the night, with Aideen and Mavis abreastof each other leading the fleet and with little or no difference in speed between them.

At midnight the wind became lighter and the sea smoother and all the competitors wereapparently carrying all their light weather canvas.

At 5 a.m. the leaders sighted the Isle of Man ; a quick passage up to this ; but from thisonwards, the breeze gradually fell away and at 8 a.m. barely gave steerage way.

At II a.m. with Mavis now slightly ahead of Aideen and about 4 miles off the Chicken,Sonia was seen to be coming up well from about 8 miles astern.

The tide now took the yachts along until at midday Mavis and Aideen had the Calf Soundabeam and not a breath of wind. Aideen kedged in 3o fathoms, while Mavis, half a mile

inside her tried for bottom at 20 fathoms, but did not succeed and drifted back almost tothe Calf of Man, but at 3.3o p.m. a light S.W. air filled her sails arid she slowly forged alongto Langness Pt. leaving Aideen still lying to her kedge becalmed, arid it was not until Mavishad a lead of about a mile that Aideen got going and finished 15 minutes behind her,

Sonia came along over an hour later and then 3 hours elapsed before Huzure appearedand then another hour before Bonita and Evora came in almost together.

Viking O. did not finish until the following morning.

The Tranmere S.C. also held a race to Douglas from lkockferry at the same time, buttheir race was even more broken up by the lack of wind than ours was and Elvira and Makrojakwere the only finishers under sail.

A pleasant time was spent in Douglas and fraternization was the order of the day betweenthe two Clubs arid on the afternoon of Sunday, which turned out very wet, the crews madea combined Cruise in taxis round the Island.

PLYMOUTH TO DUN LAOGFI-&IRE

Two of the crew had to leave at Plymouth and were replaced by an English parson andone of the crew of the wrecked Zeearend, who made a pier-head jump just before the start.

Tuesday I3th.--Marchwood Maid started to weather 2o secs after gunfire, but with Ilexunder her lee : a dead noser for the Wolf, but sea moderate. The following monfing at6 a.m. they were off Falmouth and crossed the Maid of Malham by a few lengths but wereweathered by Erivale. After a calm period they had the Lizard abeam at II a.m. and Clodagh

had come up from astern and eventually crosscd ahead near the Rtmnelstone. Aideen thenappeared standing in from outside. At 4.I5 p.m. Marchwood Maid, Clodagh and Aideen werepretty well at the Wolf with the breeze gone and the tide foul, Clodagh being the first toslip round at 8.IO p.m.

CRUISE OF EVORA

(The Editor offers his abject apologies to Doctors Desmond and R.ory O’Hanlon for sodreadfully mutilating their log, as sent to him and regrets that owing to space restrictions,he can only give an abstract of the trip.)

PART I

Euphanzel, one of the new Myhle, 24 footers designed for Dublin Bay, had just beenbuilt by the Bute Slip and Dock Co. for her owner Dr. Ninian Falkiner and was lying afloatoff Ikhu Pier, waiting to be collected and sailed home.

Dr. Desmond O’Hanlon had agreed to sail to the Clyde in Evora and not only bring acrew, but also a spare mainsail belonging to Evora, to save hacking the new boat’s sail andto bring Eupha,zel home. His brother, Dr. Rory O’Hanlon and Dr. Falkiner to join himat Mylne’s yard.

So Desnlond who was in Oldham got a long distance phone call one day and was toldto cross over to Dun Laoghaire as soon as possible and that on arrival he would find Evoraready and victualled for the cruise north and with her crew on board.

Desmond arrived and found everything as arranged, but that the mechanic had not yetfinished his overhaul of the engine and it was not until next morning that they got away.

The crew consisted of :--Jack Henry, Norman Wilkinson, Ross Courtney and Barbara.There was no wind so Evora slipped away under power but off Howth they picked upa nice N.W. breeze, which freshened later, but being partly under the lee of the land, thewater remained smooth.

Most of the day was spent stowing gear and getting everything shipshape and in the evening,watches were set : two hands to each 4 hour watch and Barbara, the cook and 5th hand,to ~leep where she could, but to be on duty with something hot at each change of watch.

It was a beautiful night, with a lovely breeze, just allowing Evora to lie her course close-hauled, but about 9 o’c. the following morning, the wind began to freshen and headsailswere changed until with the still increasing wind, Evora was down to her smallest jib.

In view of the weather and the wireless forecast, it was decided to give Lamlash a missand make for Donaghadee. And there they came safely to anchor about midday, with theintention of getting away the following morning before noon, when the tide would suit.

So all hands turned in that night after a good dinner and in the morning although theweather didn’t look too promising, the anchor was got at noon and Evora slipped away,finding a rather confused sea outside in the region of Mew Is. race ; but with a favourabletide she made good work of it.

With the Northerly wind they were only able to fetch Corsewall Pt. on the port tackand carrying on until opposite the entrance of Loch Kyan, they went about for Ailsa Craig.

The breeze now began to moderate and off the Craig with the wind gone and the tideagainst them, it was found necessary to start the engine. It was a beautiful evening and afteran hour or so, although still becalmed, the motor was stopped and Jack and Desmond agreedto keep watch between them till dawn and let the others turn in for the night.

Just before dawn a nice breeze sprang up and by 8 a.m. Evora was off the entrance atLamlash, but the breeze failing again the engine was started up and motoring to the Pier,they anchored just offit.

After breakfast a nice breeze came along and at I r o’c. Evora weighed and sailed to Rothesayunder ideal conditions and from that on to Port Bannatyne where after clearing up andputting on shore-going togs, the ship’s company set off to find Euphanzel and her builder.

PART II

Ninian, the owner of Euphanzel, and Rory having turned up as arranged, little time waslost in getting Evora’s spare mainsail bent on Euphanzel. Lunch was forgotten and witha nice breeze they tacked across to Greenock with Evora holding the new boat well : a trialspin. Then back again with free sheets to the anchorage, for there was still gear to be takenaboard Mylne’s yard and final check up. This took all the next day.

The following morning, everything being shipshape, the two yachts got away fromthe yard, dipping their ensigns as they passed and waving good-bye to all hands at the yardwho had turned out to see them off.

The day was misty and visibility poor and the Kyles were almost blotted out. Later,however, the sun came out and a beautiful afternoon ensued, but the wind had gone andso the engines had to be called on to bring them into E. Loch Tarbert, where they anchoredoff Dickie’s Yard, where all seven repaired to Evora’s cabin for dinner : a tight fit.

Next morning it was blowing hard and Euphanzel dragged a bit, but was soon broughtup and departure was deferred for 24 hours.

Euphanzel was away an hour before Evora, due to the latter getting her anchor foul ofthe moorings : a lovely day but with the wind gone Southerly. And so they tacked downKilbrennan Sound and reached Campbeltown by evening.

The next day, still with a Southerly wind, they made Donaghadee and spent the nightand next morning there.

Leaving Donaghadee in sunny weather and fight breezes and with the engine going mostof the time : they made Ardglass before dark and next day were able to fetch Rockabillon one tack and then with a freer wind had a splendid sail in company to their home portin Dun Laoghaire.

CP,.UISE OF MAVIS

j. B. KEARNI~y

AFr~a TH~ ~CE to Cork we sailed from Crosshaven for Kiusale on Thursday, 2znd August,and on to Baltimore on the following day, where we remained in company with our oldfriend, Albert the porpoise. We left Baltimore on Saturday the 3rst of August at 6 a.m.under power for 2o miles, then picked up the usual S.W. wind, and anchored in Crosshavenat 6.30 p.m. A pleasant run helped by Handy Billy.

We left Crosshaven on Sunday, September Ist, and had a nice fair wind to Ballycottonwhere we spent a pleasant evening. Left Ballycotton on Monday at 7 a.m. in a drizzle andno wind, and the good old Handy Billy again helped for the first 25 miles, and we arrivedin Dunmore at 9 p.m. While preparing to leave Ballycotton a local fisherman barteredtwo dozen herrings for a stern warp. He was satisfied and so were we.

While at Dunmore the weather turned for the worse and as my crew were due back onthe ISt of September, by mutual agreement they sailed by bus on the 4th for Waterfordand train for Dublin. I requested them to find a crew who were not tied to time as I wasin no hurry. On the 6th of September two ladies, Miss D. A. French and Miss V. M. Douglas,arrived with a lot of luggage, some of which was most acceptable.

After some sightseeing, we sailed on Monday the 9th at 7 a.m. The Hook was abeamat 7.z5, and with a fair wind we sailed through the Saltee Sound, passed the Barrels and setcourse for the Rusk Channel. We arrived offArldow at 5 p.m., stowed the sails and motoredinto the dock at 5.3o p.m. My new crew proved most successful and could manage to weighanchor, thanks to the double acting winch, without my assistance. All night and the followingday there was a strong wind and rain, so we were obliged for safety to tie up to some sunkenwrecks in addition to the hulk we were moored alongside.

On Wednesday afternoon the weather improved and we sailed to Wicklow in one anda half hours. During the night the wind freshened, so we moved to a more comfortableanchorage. Wicklow Harbour is silting up very much. It was blowing and raining all dayThursday.

On Friday morning, after weighing two anchors and stowing the dinghy, we sailed at9.3o a.m. under storm jib and mizzen only with a strong to gale force N.W. wind, and bykeeping close to the shore had a fast sail to Bray Head, which was abeam at I x.o5 a.m.

Under the lee of Bray Hd. we set the foresail without much difficulty, but when we openedup in the Bay of Bray we felt the full force of the wind. We were able to fetch Dalkey Sound,after passing th.rough which, we had a close pinch up Dublin Bay, and before reaclfing thePiers at Dun Laoghaire spray was coming over the bows, and wetting the mizzen.

We broke tacks off the West Pier, and made one tack up the harbour to drop the foresail,and when running down for our moorings we rolled the jib and picked up our mooringsunder mizzen alone, without trouble at I.o5 p.m. The weather was too bad to launch thedinghy until evening when it moderated.

Thus ended a most enjoyable cruise on the South Coast of Ireland.

PREVIOUS OCEAN RACES FROM DUBLIN TO CORK

IT MAY INTEREST readers to know that the 1946 combined R.O.R.C. and I.C.C. Race onAugust I9th was the sixth race held over this course. The first two in I86o and 186I wereorganized by the Royal Cork Y. C.; the third by the Royal Western Y. C. in i862; thefourth again by the Royal Cork Y. C. in 1888; and the fifth and sixth by the Irish CruisingClub in 1937 and I946.

The average tonnage of the I6 starters in the first race was over 6o and it was won bySibyl, 39 tons, in a very close finish ; there being no handicap.

In the second race the average tonnage was over 7o and it was won by Osprey, 6z tons.The third race was won by Phosphorus, a 5o ton cutter.The fourth race was run after a lapse of 26 years and for the first time a handicap was

introduced, being made by Mr. Dixon Kemp. There were only 6 entries for this race and theaverage tonnage was over 53- It was a hard race and was won by Vanduara, 9o tons. Afteranother lapse of 49 years, the Irish Cruising Club revived the event and this time there werelO starters, but the average tonnage had fallen to I1 and the handicap was on the R.O.R.C.system.

This race was won on handicap by Curlew, 5 tons, although Mavis finished first.An account of the 1946 race will be found on another page.The elapsed times of the first yacht to finish in each of these races are :--

Benbow’s time constitutes a record for this course, but in 1939/fdid the course in the reversedirection in zx hrs. 45 minutes.

R.O.R.C. CHANGES IN CLASSES

HOW IT AFFECTS SOME IRISH YACHTS

TH~ R.O.R.C. HAVE announced that in future Ocean Races will be grouped into Classesaccording to rating instead of water line length. Up to this the division has been as follows :-Big Class, 35 to 6o ft. on water line ; Small Class, z5 to 35 ft.

The new Classes will be as follows :-

Class Rating Minimum Water Line

I 38 to 60 ft. 40 ft.2 27.8 to 38 ft. 30 ft.

3 I9 to z7.5 ft. 24 ft.

The milfimum water line only applies where the class are racing separately, for example,a yacht with a rating of 45 ft. but with a water line length of only 35 ft. could not competein a race in which only Class I was racing as her W.L. is too short, but if Class I and z wereracing at the same time, as in the Fastnet Race next year, then she could compete.

So far the Irish Cruising Club have not adopted this new grouping.
